Maybe Your Partner Shouldn’t Be Your Best Friend

Think about it!

Nov. 5, 2024 Dimensions/E+/Getty Images life lessons Maybe Your Partner Shouldn't Be Your Best Friend "When I met my now ex-husband in my early 20s, I wanted him to be my best friend," writes Diana Park. "I wanted a partner to do everything with me, to be everything for me — a confidant, a sounding board for business ideas, and an antiquing buddy. I thought (naively) that that's what a true soulmate and boyfriend should be. And because I was in my early 20s and hadn't lived enough to realize that was an awful lot to expect from one person, I quickly became disappointed." And she learned something very, very important from the experience. — Kelly Faircloth, Executive Editor Read More ⮕ Latest MoMo Productions/DigitalVision/Getty Images Child Safety Do Car Seats Expire?

Confessions Of A Costco Skeptic

Spicy!

Nov. 4, 2024 UCG/Universal Images Group/Getty Images the math isn't mathing Confessions Of A Costco Skeptic Are you sitting down? Because Jen McGuire has quite a confession today: "I don't believe in Costco. Not in the same way that I don't believe in the Easter Bunny or trickle-down economics. Obviously, Costco is a real place, and I can even understand why it works for some people. I've heard talk of the sheet cakes and the giant wheels of Asiago cheese, the very fine deals on toilet paper and electronics and the cheap gas. I just don't believe that Costco will work for me without changing my life in ways I'm not willing to accept."
